Abduction, Torture and Extrajudicial Killing (by CPN-M)
Two Maoists named Lal Bahadur Ramjali and Dilip abducted Man Bahadur from his house, on June 10, 2006. The next day, Man’s body was found hanging outside the house of another villager, Ratan Bahadur Gautam. The Maoists claimed that he had committed suicide. Reports in the media and information from two witnesses suggested that Kul Bahadur Sijali, another local resident, had a feud with Man and had participated in his beating and killing. Witnesses stated that Man had actually been beaten to death by Kul Bahadur, Ratan Bahadur, Meghraj Gautam, and Yam Bahadur Gharti.
Developments
The victim’s family do no longer want to file an FIR. The suspects named in the FIR have been working as top leaders in the Maoist party at the local level.
